He was in no great hurry, for he knew he had plenty of time before the first bell would ring. It was a beautiful autumn morning, the air was smoky tasting from the piles of burning leaves, and the sky was stained white in spots by the smoke rising from the smoldering mounds. Yes, it really was a beautiful morning, but Dick was paying no attention to it. He was lost in his own thoughts of fo-o t b a I I , hunting, and all the other thoughts of boys of his age. In fact, he was so inter- ested in his own thoughts that he never saw the girl until he had run into her, knocking her and himself to the sidewalk! The sudden, unexpected collision brought him out of his thoughts abruptly. He looked around and stared straight into a cloud of black hair. Scrambling to his feet, he helped her to stand. She brushed back the dark cloud and he again found himself looking at her, but this time it was a pair of twinkling brown eyes and a mouth crinkling with laughter. Stammering an apology, he bent to pick up the scattered books and papers. . Gee! I'm sorry. I iust wasn't watching where my big feet were going. Instead of an angry reply, he was surprised to hear a ripple of laughter and then turned to find her beside him picking up the scattered papers. Please don't bother with an apology, said a merry voice. lt really was my fault. I was in a hurry to get out of the house and up to school. You see, this is my first year here at Grove Hill, and I love every minute of it. After an exchange of looks they walked on to school together, chatting like old friends. As they approached the school, the girl noticed sev- eral students turning around to stare at them and then starting to whisper to each other. The boy left her at her locker and went on down the hall. Francie Jourdon, although new at Grove Hill, had won the admiration and respect of all her classmates. She was a girl very easy to talk with and had the mer- riest brown eyes anyone had ever seen. The one girl she knew well came up to her in the lunch room and sat next to her. Francie knew she was dying to talk about something and Francie was sure she knew what it was. To open the way for her she asked, Well, Joan, who is he, and what in the world is wrong with his walking with me to school? .loan fairly exploded, Francie, you mean you don't know who he is? Francie shook her head in bewildered silence. Joan started bubbling out, Why Francie, he's the Student Council President and the Star Football Player and ----. . Slow down, Joan. Now very calmly tell me what is so unusual about this hero's walking with a girl to school? It was the only thing to do after helping me up from the sidewalk, following a collision and --. Oh Francie! You mean he really touched you? Well he could hardly help it after running into me, head-on. Now come on! What gives? lt's like this: Dick Warner is popular like I told you, but he's scared of girls. What! this came from a very astonished Francie. WeIl, anyway that's the conclusion the girls around here have drawn. Never in his two years here at Grove Hill has he so much as asked a girl for a date. He talks to them and everything during school, but he can never be found anyplace with a girl. Have any of the girls around here ever showed any interest in him? asked Francie. Oh, lots have chased him till they were blue in the face, but nothing ever happened. The two girls sat there for the rest of the noon hour, forgetting their lunches and surroundings, dis- cussing the extraordinary Mr. Warner. The next week passed with Dick lust happening to come along as Francie was starting up the walk to school. This accident continued for several weeks. All this time Joan and Francie were trying to figure out what kind of guy Dick Warner was. Then it happened! One night about a week and a half before a school dance, Francie picked up the phone and heard a very familiar voice. Hello, Francie? This is Dick. . . say, do you have a date for the dance? N-No, she stammered. Well would you. . . uh . . .could I . . . l mean would --- Oh, Dick, l'd love to! After establishing the time he was to pick her up, Francie put down the phone in a sort of dazed state, and floated up to her room. On the day of the dance Dick came by as usual. He met Francie, and they started off to school. Dick noticed Francie's angry mood and asked, What's the trouble, Francie?

She gave him any angry glance, then blurted out, Dick, I'm sorry, but I can't go to the dance with you tonight. Please! Don't ask me for a reason. With this she turned and ran the short distance to the school. Dick stood there s i l e n t l y watching the doors swallow her fleeing figure. The dance was going full blast as Dick walked into the door that night. There was a buzz of whispers as couples began to notice him: Well, look over there. Isn't that Dick Warner? Somebody catch me, there's Dick! Poor Warner, wonder who will break the bad news? Dick stood there for a few minutes, then he saw Francie. She was dancing with a very good-looking boy, and she didn't notice him. He turned and walked OUT. As Dick shuffled down the dark street, he began to draw himself back into that hard shell of loneliness. All the while he kept telling himself: l told you sol All girls are alike! You can't trust any of them! I thought you learned your lesson from Barbara, but no, you have to -- His thoughts were broken off by the clatter of heels on the sidewalk and a breathless voice calling, Dick, Dick, wait! He turned to find Francie running after him. He said bitterly, Francie, there's no need to --- Oh, Dick, you knot-head! Be still and let me ex- plain. I didn't see you until you were half-way through the door, so I ran after you-'cause I knew what you were thinking. Don't say a word, let me finish first. You see, I had to break our date for to- night because we were going to have company, and Mom laid down the law and said I had to stay home. I was so mad at her this morning, I couldn't see straight so I -- But you came to the dance with that other guy? Oh, him! That's easy to explain. You see, he's part of the company that came this evening. Mom knew I was still mad at her, so she told me to go to the dance and take Bobby with me and introduce him to Joan. I guess I should have explained this morning, but I'm sort of a funny person about such things. She broke off the rapid explanation when she noticed his relieved grin, and hand in hand, they re- traced their steps to the school and the dance. Autumn came late for Dick, but it was much better than the early one he had known before. -Novella Corbett, Junior 20 FIRST PLACE POEM Nkcclitation As I stood alone in the garden- Alone with the peace and quiet, I seemed to hear bells ringing Yet! No one was in sight. The bells were ringing softly And the flowers swaying to and fro, The leaves in the trees were rustling, And a robin was saying hello. As I gazed o'er the valley, My heart could never tell All the ioy I felt within While I harken'd to the bell. -Nadene Murphy, Sophomore FIRST PLACE ESSAY A Tribute to Mrs. Nkinna Horn I am sure that all who were students under Mrs. Horn will agree that she was a definite influence in their lives. This is especially true in my case, because I did not have to share her attention with other stu- dents. I was her only student, and therefore received the full intensity of her desire to teach. Since Latin is no longer ta ug ht at Etna High School, Mrs. Horn-though retired-agreed to teach this subiect to me, a transfer student. I had the pleasure of this association for two years. Mrs. Horn's sincerity, humility, courage, and hon- esty left definite impressions on my character. She gave me not only a great understanding of Latin, but also of life as a whole. Mrs. Horn was as faithful as the postman. She drove her Lizzie, a Model A, the two miles into Etna come rain, sleet, or snow. She even drove an extra nine miles when the floods had washed out the bridges! A wonderful sense of humor was also one of Mrs. Horn's many qualities. There was always a humorous anecdote to help me understand my translations. When I was ill, or on my birthdays, she would send iokes in Latin, and in English, along with her cards. Mrs. Horn was a strict teacher, but she was also always ready with praise when earned. Her eagerness inspired me to greater effort in the pronunciation of words. Through her interest I have improved my enun- ciation and pronunciation of everyday English words. I must admit that I do not miss the Latin homework one bit, but I definitely miss my association with the wonderfuI Mrs. Horn. -Beverlee Coatney, Senior AFETERIA LUTHER WHITE, Custodian ROSE WHITE, Cafeteria Manager This page sponsored by: SISKIYOU DAILY NEWS R AY' 5 5 E RV' C E Gas - Oil - Tires Yreka California Etna California FRESH AN BASEBALL FIRST ROW: Verna Branson, Melanie Dudley, Lorena Dillman.

SECOND PLACE ESSAY The Adventures of Little Luby-A Reminiscence Little Luby was as real to me as any member of my family, and she was treated like a member. A place was set for her at the table and anything that I didn't want that was on my plate, I put on Little Luby's plate-saying, I don't like this, but Little Luby does. So, Little Luby grew to be strong and healthy. Since my three older sisters were always at school, Little Luby was my constant playmate. In the spring- time, our favorite play place was up on the hill back of my house. There, in a clearing of the chaparral and manzanita bushes, we had made ourselves a play house. Our stove consisted of an old roaster pan set in among some rocks to make an oven, the rocks serving as the burners. After raiding my mother's cup- boards and the iunk pile, we secured some tin cups, spoons, a kettle, and an old coffee pot which com- pleted our kitchen furnishings. Large rocks took the place of chairs, and the doors and windows were en- tirely imaginary. A small ditch was Iocated about twenty feet from our house and this was used as our well. Any springy, sun-shiny day, you could find us making our way to our house, a picnic lunch in one hand and a doll or two in the other. We were always sad when summer came, and we had to leave our house, because of a family of rattlesnakes that lived nearby. Although the Chaparral and manzanita bushes have grown up around our house, the stove is still there and the tin cups are hanging on the bushes where they were hung thirteen years ago. During the summer, Little Luby and I amused our- selves by playing in the sprinkler or fishing pretty rocks out of the ditch that runs through our yard. 32 Another favorite pastime was playing restaurant on the front porch, using poppy seeds for coffee and honeysuckle berries for oranges. On the days that Little Luby didn't come to my restaurant, l would call her on the telephone and say, Do you know sugar is rationed? Coffee is rationed, too. And Little Luby would say, No, I didn't know. And I would say, Well, it is! and hang up, feeling very pleased that I knew something that Little Luby did not! Of course, I didn't know what the word rationed meant, but that didn't bother me! Whenever my family went for a ride, Little Luby always went with us. I would see out of the car win- dow but Little Luby couldn't and she cried almost all the time we were riding. ln the fall, we could be found climbing apple trees lin order to get the biggest and best applesi or running and falling in the piles of leaves we had raked up on the lawn. Of course, when winter came and the snow began to fall, we were in our glory. We would don our snow suits, grab the sled land any of the cats who were brave enough to go with usl, and head for the Green HilI behind the barn where we would spend a day full of wonder and excitement, making snowmen and taking spills off the sled. We usually returned home soaked to the bone but rosy-cheeked and happy. One day I came home alone, and without batting an eyelash, I said to my mother, Little Luby fell off the sled and got kilIed. I went off to play and Little Luby was never men- tioned again. You see, Little Luby was my imaginary playmate!-Nadine Smith, Senior EIC: GRADE FlRST ROW: Manuel Gomes, Alden Ayres, Dion Ortiz, Eddie Smith, Lena Murphy, Carol Roft, Gloria Miller, Judy Parker, Daniel DeFaria.

A few moments later, the boy stirred and awoke. Instead of seeing the golden sunlight, he saw the familiar misty-gray world he had known for ten of his twelve years. As he lay there, he had a feeling of something im- portant about to happen to him. Then he remembered! He was to have an operation today. The doctor had said that the eye surgery which was to take place today, would either make him see again, or would completely blind him. The tension and excitement had begun to build to a furious pitch within him, when he heard the click of the door and saw the familiar outline of his mother pass through the doorway. Turning his poor, weak eyes toward her, he expressed an unspoken plea for comforting, strengthening words from his mother. Speaking quietly and tenderly, she spoke the words he needed to hear: Tommy, you mustn't be afraid, because God is with you always. You must have complete faith in Doctor Williams because through faith, many wonder- ful things have happened. Most of all, you must have the determination and the desire to get well, for only n this way will you see again. With that, she left him to prepare himself for the :rdeal ahead. Three days later, he lay in the small familiar bed, 'ense with excitement, dread, hope, andlanticipation. After what seemed an eternity to him, he heard the solid clunk of the door, the heavy, ponderous foot- ,teps of the doctor, and the lighter, scurrying steps of he nurse crossing the room. Next he heard the clink if instruments as a tray was removed, but instead of the bright new world he expected to see, there was the same old misty world he had known for so long. A soul-sickening, heart-breaking, disappointment arose within him. Tears of great sadness gathered in his eyes. But wait! The clouds of mist began to lift, and shadowy outlines became clearly defined obiectsl Shouting happily, l can see again, I can see again! he sat up and looked at all the things he had known were there, but couldn't see. Once again, the sun slid warmly over the floor, rippled softly over the small white table, sparkling gaily through the antiseptically-clean air, and skipped light- ly over the white coverlet. But this time it came to rest gently on an empty pillow. Out on the huge lawn in front of the large modern hospital, a small boy named Tommy looked with big eyes at the busy, but quiet, place where he had been given his brand spankin' new eyes. ln his mind he was thinking, lt was worth all the being scared-because now I can see again. -Lynne Palmer, Junior SECOND PLACE POEM Silence Silence is an unending source, Building and molding our spiritual course. From birth to death, and through all strife Silence soothes the frictions of life. Speaking forever, but not with sound, Silence is precious and not easily found. Its power, elusive, is not to be measured, Silence gives wisdom, silence is treasured. -Shirley Cooke, Junior ETNA FOUNTAIN AND LUNCH YREKA SEED AND GRAIN Phone 451 EMI California Yreka Califomia ROSE MOTORS WHlPPLE'S JEWELRY Auto Body and Paint Shop James R.
